It's a common error To plaster the aching back, ' To rub with liniments rheumatic joints, When the trouble comes from the kidneys. Doan'l Kidney Pills cure all kid? ney ills, And are endorsed by Sumter citi? zens. B. C, Brown, 12 Canal S^., Sumter, S. C, says: "I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they did me more good than all the other remedies I had previous? ly tried. I suffered severely from a lame back and some days was not able to work on this account. It hurt me to stoop or lift, I could not rest well and no position I assumed was comfortable. In the morning upon arising, my back WBi SO lame that 1 could hardly get about. The kidney secretions also contained a dark sedi? ment and were too frequent In pas? sage, l finally procured Doan's Kid? ney Pills at China's drug store and they cured mo. 1 have not had a lame ?back since and tbo secretions from my kidneys do not annoy me.

It is now estimated that the levy for 1910 must necessarily be raised to approximately, 6 mills, although it is barely possible that the county can squeeze through on a 5 1-2 mill levy. The extension of the Alcolu Rail? road from Durant's to the city, a dis? tance of about t?n miles, would give Sumter a direct route to the Pudding Swamp section. Mr. Alderman will bring his road to Sumter if the peo? ple of Sumter want it. This is a hard fact, not hot air. Do we want the Alcolu road and an opportunity to obtain a large share of the trade of Southeast Sumter county, eastern Clrendon and western Florence? To bring this railroad Into Sumter would be a notable achievement for lilt. Are Yonr Poultry Sickly or Healthy? Poultry raising pnysenor* (/*>-? raouis profUs?M kept in a potlthy Btaio.

Florence 's going after the Alco lu Railroad, while Sumter is doing nothing to secure it, although it is a well known fact that it wouid be much easier to induce Mr. Alderman to extend his road to this city than it will be for Florence to annex it. ?Have you a weak uhroat?
